Radon Specs

House is about 1500 SF on lower level, 750SF is "half basement" and the rest is garage with full height access to outside.

Sub-grade material is unknown, built 1979

See blueprints here:



DO NOT PENETRATE ROOF on the South East Side.   The South East Side will used used for Photovoltaic System.

DO NOT use sump pump for suction, not allowed.

Small closet downstairs by bathroom door is directly under small closet by kitchen entry. This is the routing now that the fireplaces are closed up.


Prefer a lump sum to execute, $600 will win this done on Monday to Wednesday of 2-6-12 to 2-8-12
Must be to spec and to code.  There is wiring in attic, provide receptacle for fan.


We are thinking GP 301 FAN mounted in attic, 3" schedule 40 PVC pipe to basement.    I will have an office area in basement, and want GOOD radon mitigation.

Pipe direct to sky, no rain cap.   Be ready to excavate for dry sump if soil /subgrade is not conducive to good drainage and under house air supply.


House is under renovation right now.   Drywall is being completed, could run through dual fireplace chase at this time, it would be very clean.

  1. Hello, I will be meeting with Liz on Monday to discuss and furnish a quote to install the radon system. There has been some discussion about routing the piping through the garage and I wanted to point out section 14.3.3 of the RMS shown above which prohibits the installation of a radon fan in a garage that is located below conditioned living spaces. It can certainly be done, but would would not comply with the EPA standard. This blog is a great tool to obtain ideas before seeing the property. I'm looking forward to our meeting next week.

    1. Bill, entire system must meet code, silly to do anything else. Fan in attic, for sure, no 2 ways about it.

      But now, Fireplace is done, closed up.
      Closet chase remains, which is more centrally located anyway.
